Concepts and definitions

Author 1: Foysal

  • Why landscape is beautiful?

The beauty of a landscape is abstract thinking of the human’s mind and it’s very person to person. So the quality and value of landscape change in every situation. It can be preset of own thinking or a collection of elements what actually a reflection of human minds.

  • Consensus Design

The main differences between democracy and consensus are, democratic solutions are come from majority’s mind by voting but the consensus is a process where we can find a reflection of each and every member’s mind of a society. For making a decision human need to think about the future by developing the current condition and by fixing goals. It not about to getting attached only with emotions.

  • Cinematic Landscape

A space where the narrative of a film finds its identity. It includes: -Competitive area of filming -Process of framing the images. In the example film its shows how people of Louisiana wetlands suffer and survive from a hurricane. It derives that anthropogenic climate changes are not the only cause for a natural disaster. Man-made river control structures also play a big role in it.


Author 2: Anisa

  • "A Refrain With a View" - The paper revolves around encouraging participation and involvement of all the members of community in the design processes, regardless of which group they belong to. Instead of professionalized city management making all the decisions for the community, this approach is set on enriching both the citizens and the area. The concept of the participatory design has been in constant development and underwent great transformations, but it's still relying on another major reformation happening.
  • "Restoring of Mill Creek" - Bringing the history of the community closer to people may significantly alter their perception of current state and potential interventions. Landscape literacy is also about having a grip on the available resources and properly allocating them, but it doesn't come without having completely immersed yourself in learning of everything that makes up one's surroundings, and reading into its ongoing dialogues.
  • "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Sustainable Happiness" - Improving the life quality in terms of sustainability begins with changing the values of the community. The ignorance regarding our surroundings is leading the consumption of non-renewable resources to significant long-term consequences, when in fact, it's raising awareness about pursuing sustainability that may bring new merits and rapture.

Author 3: Chiara

  • IFLA EU Landscape Democracy - This paper promotes an olistic view of the landscape, and encourages the different Countries to make everyone participate in the design process, because public spaces belong to everyone.
  • Burckhardt Urban Planning and Democracy - The public has little concern of the cityscape, but that doesn't mean that there's no interest. What's lacking is not the concern, but the actual way to express this concern. But we cannot deny that's really difficult to find a meeting point between people with such different backgrounds (architects, urban planners and citizens). Speaking about the cityscape we could say that no one intended it to be as it is, and everybody is always complaining about it. Usually the planning of a city is decided by politicians, but the author's opinion is that urban planners and politicians should cooperate, in order to improve the city and the quality of visible expression of our shared life.

  • The mountain where the citizens used to spend their weekends soon became “a symbol of aggression”. Trebević was the only place to go for fresh air, but everything changed and the mountain became the foe. Sarajevo hoped to put much of that past to rest and there was indeed a palpable sense of optimism that arose with the reopening.

  • This promenade on the Miljacka riverfront, surrounded on the sides with thick rows of trees is closed for the traffic after 5:00 p.m. and on weekends. It allows its users to turn it into whatever they want and need it to be, whether you're walking your dog, roller skating or running marathons. It is a place that gathers everyone in their leisure time and makes up for a catalyst of all activities.

  • Argue about the history of this building: Some say It was a house of Zamidar (Landlord) Family, others say it was made by the British for institutional or administrative purpose. The most authentic opinion is, the building was used as a printing press for the first local newspaper of Sylhet named ‘’ Sri Hatta Prokash’’ So it’s clear that this building and its surrounding landscape is a part of the history of the local area.
